10 reasons why swimming is great
1. Gets you out of the house
Presumably you have to visit a local pool or rec centre, but if you have a pool in your backyard, that's great
2. Helps you lose weight
I dont know the exact science of it, but being in the water means you burn more calories than being in the air
3. Practice breathing
4. Makes me (and you) think of Jerry Seinfeld's bit on swimming
Swimming is about not dying
5. Free shower
Well not technically free but free in the sense that you don't need to bathe or shower later
6. If at a rec centre, gives you access to the other facilities
Nothing like getting in a great workout and then swimming / relaxing in the sauna
7. The 'executive' workout
If you're at a rec center, there's likely a hot tub as well
8. Fun for the family
Sometimes at pools, there are slides which gives your kids a great place to play
9. Breeds familiarity
Great for kids so they get used to the water
